The proposal would legalize marijuana for adults older than age 21 and allow them to grow their own pot.

Michael Minardi, chairman of Regulate Florida, said he is not surprised the amendment is being challenged given Gov. Ron DeSantis’ opposition to marijuana legalization. He said he’ll defend the initiative before the Florida Supreme Court.

“The length of something doesn’t mean we are hiding the ball or there is something not evident about the amendment from the ballot summary,” he said.

If the Supreme Court approves the language, the organization needs many more signatures — a total of 766,200 statewide by Feb. 1, 2020 — to get the item on the ballot. At least 60 percent of voters must approve for marijuana to be legalized.

The other marijuana legalization effort is being led by Make It Legal Florida, which is better funded and backed by some of the state’s leading medical marijuana dispensaries. The proposal is narrower than Regulate Florida’s and would require pot sales to be handled through designated treatment centers.
